Lorenzo Villoresi Splash Bottle

I received a couple of days ago my Lorenzo Villoresi Sandalo but it is a splash bottle with a separate atomizer and additional cylindrical silver coloured cap. If you put the atomizer in, the original hexagonal cap would not fit anymore and you would then need to use the additional cap. Is this the normal spray presentation for the Villoresi line ? Or I just received another kind of refillable version ? I really love how the blue bottle looks with the original silver coloured cap, but I don't like the idea of using it as a splash. :-/

Re: Lorenzo Villoresi Splash Bottle

I've bought seven Villoresis. Six of these bottles are exactly as you describe, Sandalwood, splash bottles with hexagonal caps that come with an atomizer that has a taller round cap. The seventh bottle, for Uomo, came with a hexagonal cap over a smaller atomizer. Same hexagonal bottle as the other six too.

I don't think there's an option about which cap you can get from the company. I put the atomizers into my splash bottles and never looked back. Sure, the hexagonal cap looks better but I found that I just got used to the look of the taller round cap.

In my case, Musk, Incensi, Acqua di Colonia and Dilmun have the hexagonal cap over an atomizer, while Spezie, Yerbamate and Piper Negrum where delivered in the splash bottle / additional atomizer version. I like the precious kind of packaging which leaves me the choice of using the fragrance in a spray or splash bottle; but I prefer the atomizer, too.

I have two, incensi and piper nigrum, and both have the hexagonal cap with atomizer.

The 50 ml bottles have the atomizer (hexagonal caps) only and the 100 ml's come in a splash bottle with a separate atomizer.

Its a little off topic, but fits in neatly here: Could you characterize incensi a little, Jesus? I am just back from testing Spezie, which seems rather close to PN and is nice! Not knowing about Incensi, I asked to try Avignon (CdG) and immediately loved that one also. No overdose to me 8-). It only misses a bit of the candles burning, I think. Now I am wondering how Icensi might be in comparison.

Re: Lorenzo Villoresi Splash Bottle

I can comment on Incensi. I'm a big fan of the CDG Incense line, and if you like Avignon in particular be aware that the LV is a pretty far cry from it. I don't find it to be a incense fragrance if you define the term literally. Instead, it came off on me with a gourmand apple pie note that turned into a soapy drydown, with perhaps a veneer of hair tonic (a base it shares with Patchouli) that flattens out the scent.

While it started out nicely, the finish of it seemed unmolded and lumpy. Too bad, because I responded to the opening and expected more.

Re: Lorenzo Villoresi Splash Bottle

Thank you everybody for your replies. It looks then that it is a matter of luck whether you get a separate or a fixed atomizer with your bottle. That's weird. Eventhogh the juice will not change because of this, I think it is a shame to have to break the sleek original design with such a huge atomizer at the end when that long coveted frag finally hits one's wardrobe.

Re: Lorenzo Villoresi Splash Bottle

Here is the kind answer from LV's Office:

&quot;... You are quite right. The second version, with the fixed atomizer, is the new one, which we made in order to allow the use of the beautiful cap together with the atomizer (this new atomizer should also work better).

On the other hand, the version you have has the advantage - lost in the new one - that it may be refilled!

Anyway, the new version is available or can be ordered in any of the shops carrying our collections.

Thank you again for your enquiry and do not hesitate to contact us for any assistance or additional information !
